You know you’re a nurse if…
You believe every patient needs TLC: Thorazine, Lorazepam and Compazine.
You would like to meet the inventor of the call light in a dark alley one night.
You believe not all patients are annoying … some are unconscious.
Your sense of humor seems to get more “warped” each year.
